i made (modified) this laser sniper rifle with the scope being Solarius Scorch's Item Levels more variability
this BigOb is based off of the laser sniper rifle, i made it because i could not find any blue laser sniper rifles, so i decided to try making my own
let me know if i got the color pallet right, and what you think about the spirit
EDIT: i noticed in my in-game use of the sprite, the color pallet does not seem to work, it looks like tye-dye any help or advice on this?
-
you need to use PS or another program to set the color to 8 bit and the custom palette. use the battlescape palette

You're wrong Sir, I've made one long time ago :)

regretibly i do not have photoshop(PS i assume), i do have paint.net and gimp iirc gimp can change the pallet and found instructions here

to do this, but i have no 'frame of referance' to get the pallet from i also noticed that paint.net can also change pallet, but again, i have no pallet
i converted the file via bomb blokes tools, which i fear has altered the pallet of all of the files that it converts

that looks awesome!(and similar to the one i kinda 'butchered') but even if i get the pallet fixed, i fear that i will be incapable of making the rotating sprites(their name escapes me) due to lack of skill, as most that i see look very different from the original
thanks to both of you guys for the input

When you get Photoshop to play around with the graphics (notice "when" as opposed to "if" :P), you can use this attached palette to make sure it will work.

I need to do the hand sprites for this gun at some point too, basically just strap a scope on top of the original Laser Rifle and maybe add a pixel or 2 to lengthen the barrel... Huh I might even release it as a standalone mod so you can wait till I do that... or take the fight to the enemy and do it yourself :)

"blue laser" ??
What is the ruleset trick to manage laser beal color ?

i might use yours if you don't mind, but i would like to figure out how to do this, i have plans for other sprites if i can get this to work for me, thanks for the offer

erm, i am not sure what you mean by ruleset trick, but i had meant that i could't find a laser sniper rifle sprite that was blue and not red
thanks guys for all of your help and input on this

Ok ....
I misunderstood, i have taken the "blue" for the beam, not for the weapon.
The red sniper laser is probably mine ... and the idea of giving it a blue beam sounded cool.

If you want a blue or red laser beam you can use my recolored hit and bullet sprites.
